Adkins pitched another real good game in AAA today he went 7innings letting up 1 earned run, 2 walks and 5 strikeouts, and he got the win, thats two good starts in a row for him.

yeah i hope he ends up being good too, i mean KW has gotten the sox some descent prospects before Damaso, and harris, but he's also given up some good ones too, so hopefully adkins ends up being something, but who knows.

Such as? The only other guy who even comes to mind as being halfway decent would be Alex Fernandez (but I think I remember kermit saying that he's probably nothing).

Unless you're counting drafts (Honel), and when did the Sox acquire Olivio?

Olivo was a Williams deal.

Worst trade since Ruth was sent to NY according to the wealth of knowledge that is ESPN.

Idiots.

Getting Fernandez really helped us. We got him for nothing in the minor league Rule V draft and traded him for D'Angelo Jimenez who could be a major league shortstop or second baseman. That's getting something for nothing at the highest level. Nonetheless Kenny rapes us with his other moves so he still must be disposed of.

i still don't see how Adkins will amount to more then a life long AAA bp pithcher if he don't have anything slower then 92. The guy has not developed a change or a slow curve. Who the hell teaches these kids'?
